It has been six days since Elena was taken. Ajax and Raphael had not heard a single word from Caroline. They could not even reach her neither could they get hold of Elena. Ajax and Raphael were getting really worried. Especially Ajax. He was beginning to doubt Caroline all over again. “What if she lied and all they wanted was Elena and then she just used our head and we were so stupid to fall for her trap.” Ajax whined again to Raphael.Raphael grunted. “Ugh! Bro come on! She would not do that.”The both of them were walking. They had just alighted from an Uber and now they were both walking into Grey’s labs.Ajax was wearing a white shirt tucked into a pair of trousers with a shoe. Raphael wore similar outfit.Nicholas had given them some days off, but he called them in the previous night.“How are you so sure?” Ajax asked as he walked in after the door to slid open.“Because…..” Raphael trailed off. “I don’t know.” He said sighing, looking defeated. “Look mate, I just feel it in
Elena laughed at the memory. Those were few days ago but it felt like weeks ago. She had been hella busy for the past few days. She had been Helping Gregory and the rest of the people in the quarters that needed her help health wise. She had not even spent up to a week with them, and it felt like she had known them all her life.They were so affectionate and cordial with her and related with her like she was part of their family. Yes. They were a family. Her mind went back to how it started.***Elena was left alone in that room that day while she laid on the bed sleeping. When she had woken up she felt exhausted.She had wondered what Ajax and Raphael would have been doing. She wondered how that would be looking for her. She had laid in the bed defeated as she thought of how they would be fruitlessly trying to find her. She had known at that it would be so impossible to find her.She had not even told them the route to this place after she had got
Who?” Elena asked. Her heart started racing as she was beginning to fear that it was either Ajax or Raphael. She was not ready to see them. At least not yet. From what has been going on these past days, she knew she would not be able to face them.She heard Adam sigh and then say. “Come and see for yourself.”Then the line went dead.Elena’s heart beat rate piqued. She quickly pushed her chair back, drawing the attention of everyone because of the scraping sound the chair made and whispered a little sorry, throwing an apologetic glance at them then she hurried out.The walk to the infirmary was painfully slow as she took another trip down memory lane.***Caroline had suspected that Elena did not want to eat the breakfast that was on that table because it had already gone cold it or probably because she just did not like it.So Caroline went home, to her own place at the quarters to prepare one of the meals she knew Elena liked making at her huge house.Spaghetti and meat balls.Ele
Elena had arrived at the infirmary. She took in a deep breath to calm her nerves before pushing the doors open.She greeted the girl that stood at the receptionist stand.Elena began to walk the hallway. She was never one to get sick of the smell of hospitals, but now she was feeling sick.She could not decipher if it was her anxiety that caused the sudden nauseating feeling she was getting.She walked with light feet to the ICU(Intensive Care Unit). That was where Adam usually stayed to mostly supervise what was going on.As she suspected, Adam was there. Standing in the hallway in front of a ward that had a glass wall with which he could use to see through. Adam was dressed in his usual formal suit and a hanky stuffed neatly in his breast pocket, eyes looking into the ward, supervising what the workers were doing to the helpless victims in there.“You are late.” Adam mumbled dryly, not even sparing her a glance.Elena looked down chuckling nervous
Caroline had made her plans with Elena. Elena was supposed to pretend to be with them. She was supposed to work with them for a few days, gain their trust and then, when they have trusted her enough, they would give her her freedom and give her the choice to leave when she deems it fit or, once she has gotten friendly with them, she would make an escape. Caroline had no idea how Elena did it or spoke to Adam, all she saw was Elena at the infirmary helping and everyone taking her as though she was part of them. It shocked her to say the least.If she did not know better, she would have thought Elena’s mindset had changed and she was fully on Gregory’s side. If only Caroline knew how right she was.She wondered how Elena knew how to act so well.“Hi.” Caroline greeted with a cheerful smile to the lady that sat at the infirmary’s reception. She had just gotten there and now she was heading to the ICU. That was mostly where Adam spent most of his times.As
“The system extractor/ detector.” Raphael said echoing Ajax’s words. “In the flesh.” Nicolas said grinning widely and comically.“Uh… it is made of Metals and tech parts… rather. And not flesh.” Raphael said trying to correct him, but he immediately went quiet when Nicholas sent him a glare. “But I get your point.” Raphael added with an awkward smile.“Let’s go get some systems. Yoo hoo!” Nicholas exclaimed dramatically punching the air like a pirate from a children cartoonIt earned him a strange look from the two friends.“We are going with an ambulance them.” Nicholas said as he threw some clothes at Raphael and Ajax. “Gear up.”They were at a changing room that Ajax and Raphael never knew existed. Truth be told, they have not really toured Grey’s labs to know everywhere in it.“What is this?” Ajax asked as he inspected it. It was a green ambulance cover all. “Is this not like a crime? Camouflaging? Pretending to be an ambulance when we clearly
The walk back to the van was a short and quiet one.The little girl had her hands latched on to Ajax’s hands as though he was her life support.As soon as they got into the van, Nicolas asked the driver to start moving ignoring the questioning look his team members gave him.“We were waiting for your order.” One of the ladies spoke up.“What is your name?” Ajax asked softly, trying to strike up a conversation with the little girl.“It was no longer needed.” Nicholas answered the lady.“I’m Aimee.” The little girl said replying to Ajax as she picked on her jumper.“Okay Aimee, I’m Ajax.” Ajax said pointing to himself.Aimee nodded.“So, can you tell me when it started?” Ajax asked.When he saw the confusion on her face, he explained further. “When did the hurting of people when you don’t want to start?”“It started last week. I was in school and this boy in my class that bullies me and laughs at me with his friends because of m
Caroline had dropped by at Ajax, Raphael and Elena’s place to fill them in on what was going on. However, she was beyond disappointed to not meet them at home. She sat on the porch waiting for them, thinking about Elena and wondering what she was up to.Caroline had come to three conclusions. One, It was either Elena had been compelled or Two, Gregory had managed to convince her and so she had been brainwashed or Three, Elena had an ulterior motive.Caroline really hoped it was the third one.If Elena did have an ulterior motive, could she not at least let Caroline in on it instead of pushing her off her game.It was not long evening came and it started getting dark. She had been sitting on that porch for hours now, watching people walk pass and go about their daily life. If only they knew what went on behind the scenes.Sighing in frustration, Caroline took a pen and paper from her purse and began to write a note. In the note, she asked them to call her when they got back home becaus
